Alright People, next time you see a person running with a gas mask and some kind of bullet proof vest, don't get alarmed, it's just a guy training!

And I am not kidding.

San Jose police said the suspicious-looking jogger seen fidgeting with a package at a drop-off box was only working out in hard-core, albeit odd-looking, exercise gear. "The guy said he was wearing a cardio mask," said Sgt. Jason Dwyer. "It was his cardio day, and he was trying to lose weight." That's not what a post office customer thought when the man in the weird mask and vest was stuffing a package in a blue mail box about 12:30 p.m. The customer called police, and in a flash, the post office was on lockdown until 4:30 p.m., with 150 employees and customers tucked away in the back.

Seriously? Did this guy NOT think people would freak out or be alarmed?

As you can read in thecomments at Gizmodo, wearing a gas mask helps "to stimulate training at high elevation and the "armor" is nothing more than a weight vest."

"Nothing more"? LOL

How can anyone assume that this guy was training? Not everybody in the US knows about MMA gas mask training!!

Really cool steampunk costume posted on Youtube by IdiomaticSwag, made in a few days from things he found around the house! You can't beat using junk for a good steampunk costume.

This was the super quick outcome of the main part of my Halloween costume for a costume party this year, it was put together in only a few days only using items I had around the house, including an old respirator, welding goggles, clear acrylic sheeting, leds, solder, various metal pieces, switches and wiring, and lots.. and lots.. of hot glue..the battery holders however were bought from radio shack.

WOW this is amazing. This has to be the coolest thing i have found in a long time.

Freehand Profit is a Los Angeles based artist who earned his name as a graffiti artist in DC and Northern Virginia. In 2005 he graduated Corcoran College of Art Design with a BA in Fine Arts. Since then he's rooted himself in LA's Hip-Hop scene and has been working to forget what he learned in art school and make work without the pretentiousness that all too often accompanies "good" art.
Currently Freehand Profit is exploring the iconographic nature of masks through his MASK365 project. Inspired by Noah Scalin's Skull-A-Day, Profit is creating a mask a day and publishing them through his blog. The repetitive nature of the project has allowed Freehand Profit to expand into new artistic approaches and has developed into numerous bodies of work such as the Branding Wars (a series of gas masks re-imagined and transformed with commercial goods like Nike shoes and Gucci hand bags) and the Guerrilla Art Squadron (a series of designs hybridizing gas masks and creatures).

As a talented artist, he challenged himself to make a gas mask out of "Retro Air Jordan 4s".

The AJF4 Laser Premiere features two of my favorite shoes, the top of the Retro Air Jordan 4s and the sole of the Air Force 1s. They are great looking shoes but I was even more impressed by them when I took them apart. I’ve deconstructed a number of different shoes but the construction of these was remarkable. And for the first time I wished I hadn’t cut them up. Luckily I was pleased with the resulting mask.
